hey ventilator you is a crak men

buen trabajo tio

that looks fantastic! Now imagine a character or physics object moving through, parting the grass...is that possible?
Can you convert any other ATI demos? like the bubble or water? Great work!

Hmmm.. how do you implement it if there is no mat_

I tried to add a maetrial for my action to reference, but couldn't get it working... how are you calling the material?

save the above shader as grass.fx and use this script:


material mat_grass{}

starter update_grass
{
effect_load(mat_grass,"grass.fx");
}

on_m=update_grass;

i did it this way because then it's possible to edit the parameters of the shader while the engine is running and update the effect with the m key.

Thanks! that did it! very, very cool! I like the motion you set!

doesn't seem to work in the latest beta 6.12.7
Crashes my pc...freezes

hey can you get any shaders to work on the new beta? you had a problem with the specualr shader and now this.. i am thinking you somehow didnt install the beta correctly ..

the other shaders work fine though(vent's enviro mapping and A6 new fx), its installed correctly... this one is brutal though, complete freeze up..

No crash...

DOH! i guess it was something bad wuth my install, re-installed my app and scripts and its ok...

Sorry...

I was wondering, little off the shader topic, but only a little.....

....could you create a grass sowing system based on an image of the world map, something like this?

say blue would be grass, white shrubbs etc...

Just that this could allow for fast delivery of grass or other shrubs etc...especially considering your Waving Grass. I am really impressed with EA Sports Tiger Woods 2004, its grass is lovely The only way I think they could have done it is with the method I suggest above, the grass is dense on certain parts of the course filling the rough areas perfectly, I wondered if there was a way to achieve this with your grass example?

If someone can point me in the right direction...
